White Sox 5, Athletics 2: South Siders Battle Back after Early Deficit

The White Sox (69-50) fell behind early, but some timely hitting mixed in with some power allowed them to rally against the Athletics (68-51).

After a scoreless first inning, the Athletics came to life in the second against starter Dallas Keuchel. Matt Chapman got the scoring started when he crushed a slider from Keuchel for a solo home run. That was Chapman’s 18th homer of the season, and Keuchel struggled against the next few hitters, as well.

Control eluded Keuchel, who hit Josh Harrison and walked Stephen Piscotty and Ismael Machín to load the bases.
